About Shelter Manager

By the time the alarm starts ringing in the bunker, you still haven't found out what happened. You can only guess. One thing is certain - the world will never be the same again. There is a whole new reality waiting for you, where the struggle for resources with other survivors will become the main problem. Get to the truth. Find out what happened to the people on the surface.

Pick Your Apocalypse




From a nuclear war to global pandemic or meteorite strike, choose your apocalyptic scenario in an expansive sandbox.

Learn to Survive




In the campaign mode, you will learn how to survive. Select from a number of missions to learn how to effectively run a bunker!

Build Your Shelter




Construct underground shelters equipped with all the modern amenities to survive the apocalypse. You’ll need a variety of items to survive the harsh world outside. Have your settlers loot and pillage other bunkers to bring home all kinds of essential supplies.

Upgrade Your Facilities




Use precious resources to upgrade the bunker’s rooms to increase the amount of civilians who can live inside. Unlock and expand the bunker with 10 special rooms, each with a key function. The Foodblock, for instance, allows settlers to provide food to the entire settlement whereas the laboratory allows settlers to conduct scientific experiments. Setting up all 14 slots for rooms in your bunker is vital to ensuring your survivors are as safe and efficient as possible.

Manage Your Civilians




Monitor morale and productivity, food rationing, electricity, and how many hours of sleep survivors get to increase your shelter’s efficiency and resources. You can control your bunker's wider purpose by switching its focus from ‘working’ to ‘science’.

Build Your Army




Form an army that will protect your surface resources from being pillaged by roaming looters. Select from an array of weapons and soldier types, before sending your troops out into hostile territory to attack other bunkers and claim their resources for your own.

Shelter Manager, developed and published by Hamsters Gaming, is a post-apocalyptic management and strategy simulation that places the player in charge of an underground bunker struggling to survive after a global catastrophe. Rather than focusing on moment-to-moment drama or character-driven storytelling, the game emphasizes systems, numbers, and long-term planning, asking players to think like administrators tasked with keeping an entire shelter functional under constant pressure. From the beginning, it establishes a tone of scarcity and responsibility, where every decision has consequences that ripple through the population and infrastructure of the bunker. At the heart of Shelter Manager is resource management. Players must carefully balance food production, energy generation, morale, labor efficiency, and population growth, all while ensuring that basic human needs are met. Survivors are not just passive numbers; they require housing, rest, and purpose, and neglecting any of these elements can quickly lead to declining productivity or outright collapse. The game constantly pushes the player to juggle short-term survival with long-term stability, creating a steady tension betwe…

game is not good

This could be an interesting game. It seems to have a number of dead ends. Finding out the game status is impossible. For instance, while attacking another bunker the game reverted to the main menu. Was this a bug? Or did I complete a mission? Also, while the interface seems simple, there is no information about why Carbon can not be sold. Eventually, the slider moves to sell the Carbon. But it is always 2 or 3 turns later than when I initially tried to sell the goods. I cannot recommend this game at this time.:steamthumbsdown:

Glad I picked this up on the cheap. Incredibly shallow game. Wouldn't play it even on mobile.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
